My husband and I are researching the Walker's Haute Route for a potential August, 2010 trip. We've reviewed trip reports and the Kev Reynolds guide. Information from trip reports seems contradictory, so we have a few questions. I hope folks who've done the hike can offer advice.
1) How easy is it to follow the trail? Is it well marked?
2) Did you cross snowfields or glaciers? Did snow impede your progress? Does one need to bring crampons and/or an ice axe?
3) How technical is the hike? We've done long trips through the mountains, but we don't have climbing skills.
In advance, thanks for your advice.
